I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 10

Huo Qing really didn’t like her current appearance.

She just said he was crazy?!

Who gave her permission to rebel against her own master?

Her silence infuriated him.

The man furrowed his brows. His aura was not as cold as usual and was somewhat impatient.

“You don’t want a divorce. Don’t you want a man?”

“…”

Su Wan looked up in disbelief, a trace of injury flitted across her dark and calm eyes.

In his heart, he had always thought this way?

What did he think she was!

Her heart felt like it had been struck hard. Su Wan closed her eyes and stopped talking.

As far as Huo Qing was concerned, this was a sign of weakness, a type of submission.

Satisfied, he caressed her long black hair with one hand as he spoke carelessly.

“I know that you have been wronged with this matter, so I chose my favorite child for you. Also, I will not care about the matter with Meng Jing’s eyes for now. I will settle this debt with Bai Shan.”

That aloof tone seemed to be a type of charity.

Su Wan was wrapped in the quilt. She clearly couldn’t feel the heat, but she was still trembling.

So it turned out that to him, she was nothing more than a toy.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened them, trying her best to remain calm.

“Is that what you came here for?”

Huo Qing was stunned.

Why did he come here…?

He thought back to today. Meng Jing had intentionally worn the silk pajamas that he had bought and had gracefully wanted to hand him over.

But with the soft and gentle beauty in his arms, what flashed across his eyes was Su Wan’s face.

No matter how hard it was, it wouldn’t get any harder.

Because of this, Meng Jing thought that he had already changed his mind and explained the matter to her in an aggrieved manner. Bai Renxin did not break her body, so she was still a virgin and told him not to find her dirty.

Huo Qing was basically at a loss for words.

After comforting Meng Jing to sleep, by some strange accident, he came to her place.

An enigma that was difficult to discern was hidden between Huo Qing’s brows, as well as a sullen anger that seemed to be seen through.

After a long time, under Su Wan’s gaze, the corner of his lips finally curled up slightly.

“What other purpose do you think I have? “Hmm?”

Su Wan’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

After an unknown period of time, she finally found her voice.

“When you proposed, you clearly said … “I clearly said …”

She did not dare to look into his eyes. She did not know how to speak, so she could not continue to speak.

“What did I say?”

Huo Qing seemed to have reacted and a nameless smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

“Oh, I did say that I was interested in you.”

Su Wan stared into his eyes, watching as he lightly caressed her soft and skilled kneading.

“I’m really interested in you …”

That soft touch caused Huo Qing to sigh in satisfaction.

“But only to your body.”

These words were like a death sentence, pushing Su Wan’s heart into the abyss.

She was stiff, her black eyes clouded with confusion and hollowness.

Such a frail expression seemed to have touched Huo Qing.

The man frowned, then ignored the indescribable pain in his head and slowly emphasized it beside her ear.

“Su Wan, you have to be clear. Being interested and loving are two different things.”

He was warning himself, too, as he spoke to her.

Earlier, he had sworn that in this lifetime, the only person he would fall in love with would be Li Mengqing.

As for her … Just his pet, his possessions.

That’s all.

Su Wan’s brain worked very slowly.

Interests and love are two different things?

She had thought that after spending so many years together, even if he didn’t love her, at least he would have some feelings for her … Do you like it?

Yet, it turned out that it was just an act of wishful thinking on her part.

His hands, which were hidden under the blanket, were slowly clenching. His fingers were pressing down until they turned white.

Huo Qing repeatedly told himself to be heartless, but he was still a bit anxious when he saw her empty gaze. He turned her over and faced him with her smooth white butterfly bone, her back facing him.

Just looking at her beautiful body made his lower body ache.

The man leaned over her slowly, picked up a piece of skin at the nape of her neck, and mumbled indistinctly.

“Alright, be a bit more obedient. Right now, you only need to do a few things that will make me interested …”
